I guess the subject says it all. I haven't been able to find an rt
version of the current (2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 SMP) Fedora 9 kernel, and I
was kinda hoping someone out there might have already compiled one.
Thank you!

Based upon Fernando's recent answer to a different thread on this issue
that I somehow overlooked, I'm going to guess that the answer to my
question is a big fat no.
In fact, I've been hearing a lot of horror stories about the new kernels
being unpatchable for rt use. Hopefully, things will straighten
themselves out soon.

Try patch 2.6.26-8 with rt11
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.26.6-rt11.bz2>,
it worked for me.

Realtime patched kernels for Fedora 9 are available from the Planet
CCRMA repositories. The newest ones come from the "testing" repository
and that includes 2.6.24.7-rt21 and 2.6.26.7-rt11 kernels, the former
seems to work fine (so far). I received an answer off the list about
midi & 2.6.26.x and that user had it working. I'm looking at config file
differences now, but his system is 64 bits and mine is 32...

Hi Fernando,
I confirm midi is working with 2.6.26-8 on debian lenny but jackd freezes
trying to stop when with snd_seq. (DLs state in the output of `ps -ax`).
I didn't test the other alternatives (not a midi fan... simple user) but I
am going to and feedback to this thread.

midi is seriously broken on 2.6.26-rt, specially when driven outboard;
events delivered out of time if at all, outrageous jitter and
unpredictable drop outs; internally sequenced material (eg. queueing
events to a softsynth) might work barely but that is just little comfort.
note that this badness applies to PREEMPT_RT kernels >= 2.6.26, vanilla
is fine afaict.
all that trouble seems to be related to a regression in 2.6.26-rc2 that
just made the bkl non preemptible anymore, leaving the -rt people with a
herculean task to comply--look after Ingo Molnar's "Kill the BKL" tree
for news...

I keep hearing rumors that the kernel devs are basically trying to make
the vanilla kernel "rt-capable", meaning I think that they want to make
special patching unnecessary for the task. What we're seeing now are
side-effects of this effort, which will hopefully right itself soon.
Only rumors, I'm afraid. If someone out there has some real knowledge on
this issue, feel free to speak up. :-)

I don't get any messages at all. Well, I do get _one_ and that's it. And
the software that uses MIDI (kmidimonitor) is left is a bad hanging
unkillable state. I tried several kernel options to try to get my
realtime kernel to be as close as the Fedora kernel (which works) but no
results so far.
The timing problems might be related to the new RTC interface in newer
kernels. Apparently ALSA cannot/does not use it, and that might lead to
bad timing. As MIDI does not work I could not test for timing but maybe
somebody else can try to use CONFIG_RTC instead of CONFIG_RTC_CLASS, if
you use the former then ALSA can use CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER... But this is
just a guess on my part.

I have the same problem on debian sid .... in kernels greater than 2.6.26.3-rt3 .... jack
freezes and I can't kill any rt app launched ... :-(
